That is what Mike was saying. SMS and MS are not the same thing. With regards to the rest of the thread, are you seriously asking for us to post...

Please guess the grade of this Battle Creek Morgan Dollar in the poll above. [IMG] [IMG] :)

Please guess the assigned grade of this 1924 SLQ in the poll above. [IMG] [IMG] :smile
